Estimation in the 1995 Census Test Service-based Enumeration
نویسنده
چکیده
The 1995 Census Test was the first attempt at a fundamentally different approach to counting persons without a usual home than was used in the 1990 Census. The new methodology enumerates people at facilities where they receive services. The 1995 service-based enumeration (SBE) counted people at shelters and soup kitchens. The goal of the SBE project is to test operational methods and estimation methodologies to include in the census persons who use services and may be missed in the standard enumeration of households and other group quarters. The methodology was not designed to provide a count of the homeless population or service users.

Census counts are subject to different types of nonsampling errors. One of these main errors is coverage error. Undercount and overcount are two types of coverage error. Undercount usually occurs more than the other, thus net undercount estimation is important. There are various methods for estimating the coverage error in censuses. One of these methods is dual system (DS) that usually uses dat...
